- Abstract
-
A Methodist preacher preaching to an open-air congregation with a cloth in one hand, two women preparing to steal a pair of shoes in the midst of the crowd, various people looking on including an apple seller with a cart, a ballad seller with a baby on her back, two Jews, fashionable ladies and gentlemen, a man getting his pocket picked, dogs, and a group of boys with a figure formed of a chimney brush. In the distance, people walk on the field, a figure flying a kite behind, rows of houses in the background; an inn with a sign with a fox to the right and the Palladian facade of St. Luke's Hospital beyond
